Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1028

Currently, there doesn't seem to be a way to tell firejail that I don't want it to mess with ~/.config/pulse. Either I can totally disable anything sound related using nosound, or it will just build it's own ~/.config/pulse in pulseaudio_init().

It would be really nice to have an option to whitelist/noblacklist that directory and let me shoot myself in the foot. I understand the defaults might work for most cases, but don't work for my case (remote playback, no spawning of pulseaudio, set up locally for the specific user) and I currently don't have any recourse to fix it.

I just stumbled upon this issue after changes on my local pulse config, breaking the firefox firejail. Will submit a PR in a bit.
